I'm sure you can list plenty of people here that would make me their b!tch. I'm not here to argue the speed of cars. I'm probably one of the least biased people I know in terms of my appreciation for cars, I've owned a little of everything, and my favorite cars range from all sorts of domestics to japanese to european cars.
So don't peg me as one of those flame-starting domestic humpers that lumps you all together as a bunch of "rice boys" with stickers and fart cans.
There are PLENTY of people on this forum that ARE like that, but I'm not niave enough to think that everyone here is like that.
At my local drag strip it seems like maybe 4 out of 5 "riced out" Hondas that I see run 16-20 second ETs. The other 1 out of 5 run anywhere from high 11s to high 15s. So yeah those high 11- low 14 second Hondas, although rare, would definitely make me their b!tch... my car is stock, I don't try to pretend its fast. I bought it for the quality and luxury. If I wanted speed and nothing else I would have saved myself a ton of money and bought a Z28.
What I said or what I was trying to say is that by the way you guys are posting you really don't help dimish the aforementioned stereotype that most domestic and european guys have of you. Not sure if you care... but just thought I'd mention it.
you want to get a valve adjustment done? then ask for it with the proper name. you want to adjust the cams? get an adjustable cam gear for that single cam then.
I had a brain fart, I know the proper name, and a few weeks ago I asked for it by the proper name. But all I got was advice like the guy that posted before you "buy a manual". Sure! Then what was the point of this forum, again?
Imagine how quickly I'd keep my job if everyone that asked me for help I just told "RTFM"... that kind of defeats the purpose of my job as technical resource for employees.
yeah and? go get a cookie from your mom then.
Been a while since I've heard something that corny.
its not every noob. its just idiots as dubster pointed out. assimo aka dragin4queers wasnt even a noob. he was just an idiot that made a half assed attempt at trying to redeem himself by bullshitting and failed. dont get your panties in a bunch just cuz someone called you a noob.
Isn't that sweet? I made a valid objective arguement as to why it's dumb to classify everyone as "noobs" with a negative connotation. Then first you tell me it's not every "noob" even though this entire thread was directed at all "noobs" in general, not one or two specific ones. Then at the end of your statement you contradict yourself by admitting that this thread's initial statement was a generalization directed at me and anyone else along the same lines.
